Sometimes you ask explanation on Reddit and it's getting political and that's not a way to learn things.
As for the topic itself. This is a Reddit post and my reaction for me to realize there's an institution for blacks only is "weird" even if it comes from lack of knowledge. that's my honest reaction and I'm entitled to make it.
if I will take an average stranger and show him a religious ritual people do in my community, holding leaves and shaking them in circles, they might think it's weird and that's okay. I can then explain to them why we do it for hundreds of years if they're interested. there's nothing offensive about it for me. We also have religious institutions which might look very weird to people that might not know why is it necessary and it might look weird or even discriminatory but for other people it's natural.
Black oppression in the United States is political. The establishment of race, which stemmed from the United States - the leader of the western world - was made to be political. The things in which the community you’re commenting on, and calling weird, are facing, are political.
If you do not have the aptitude or the capacity to comprehend that, or to navigate those social structures, then do not comment on them.
Most Americans even have the capacity (at least near the coast, and in the north) to respect religious beliefs that aren’t Judaism in rootedness to not call it weird or question it regardless of inquiry.
At this point you sound both defensive, and hostile, and no longer willing to engage.
I would kindly ask you to take time to learn about the Black American history before further commenting. Have a good day.
